2D Measurements Flashcards
what is the normal TAPSE value ?
16 mm or greater
what is the normal EF for men ?
52 - 72 %
what is the normal EF for women ?
54 - 74%
maximum LA volume for men/women ?
16- 34 ml
what is normal RV pressure ?
systole: 15 - 25 mmHg
diastole: 2- 8 mmHg
what is the normal LV pressure ?
systole: 120 mmHg
diastole: 3-12 mmHg
what is the normal pressure for PA ?
systole: 15-25 mmHg
diastole: 4-12 mmHg
wall motion terms:
what does hibernation mean ?
ischemic segment that is akinetic (no movement), but not infarcted, that can be reversed with restoration of coronary blood flow
what does dyskinetic mean ?
movement away from the center of the cavity
SV volume equation ?
SV = EDV - ESV
*normal range: 70-100 ml
what is cardiac output (CO) ?
volume of blood that LV pumps each minute
CO equation ?
CO = SV x HR
what is the normal range of CO ?
4-8 L
what is BSA ?
body surface area
what is the normal BSA for adults ?
1.73 m2
BSA equation ?
BSA = (height x weight / 3131) (1/2)
- unit: inches and lbs
- US machine automatically calculates BSA
what is cardiac index (CI) ?
cardiac output correlated for the BSA
CI equation ?
normal value ?
CI = CO/BSA
3-4 L/min2
what is inotropic force ?
contractility of the heart muscle or the force of contraction
chronotropic force
rate of contraction or heart rate
afterload
the resistance that the heart must pump against
preload
the volume in the heart at end[-diastole
Amyl nitrite inhalation
less common maneuver that causes decreased peripheral resistance, which increases the heart rate, SV, and CO
inspiration/squatting _____ venous return, SV, and CO; expiration/standing _____ venous return, SV, and CO
increase
decrease
